I Found A Democrat You Can Turn On

The Star Telegram has a story of how Democratic Comptroller candidate Fred Head is calling Republican opponent Susan Combs a "pornographer" based upon a steamy novel she wrote 26 years ago. Head's web site is here including excerpts from the book here. Fred. you look a little creepy yourself, and the pornography attack is silly. I wish failure upon you.

Diet Update

As posted earlier, I decided I was fat during the first week of August. I then (as I tend to do) became obsessive and went on a crazed diet and exercise combo. As of this morning: I had lost 13.5 pounds. I've become a fan of brussel sprouts with no-fat butter. When you're hungry, you'll eat cardboard and like it.

I Feel Sleepy Tonight . . .

. . . but as I glance at Monday Night Football on that thing called television tonight: - the new stadium in Arizona looks like Texas Stadium at night with the roof open (I feel a road trip coming on) - And the stadium is awkwardly called the "University of Phoenix Stadium" after the online college paid a train load of cash for the naming rights. Confusingly, the stadium isn't in Phoenix and the University of Phoenix doesn't have a football team. - Why are they debuting a Jay-Z video at halftime? - Chris Berman drives me insane - Joe Theismann drives me insane - Tony Kornheiser is not funny - The 15 minute halftime is something every college game should adopt - Charles Barkley showed up in the broadcast booth in the second quarter and I'd vote for making him full time

I Heart You, OU!

Pic was actually taken during 2008 Texas/OU game after the controversial roughing the kicker call in the 4th quarter.

Why, Sheryl, Why

Speaking of John Mayer, I'm sure there is a good reason that Sheryl Crow appears on stage with him in a bikini this weekend.

The Church of Slimfast

From the Star-Telegram story: "The Rev. Gary Rubendall, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, said he is skipping one meal each day to show his opposition." One meal? That's it? Well, at least the plan might defeat the sin of gluttony.

I Suggest A Couple From Newark And A Couple From Highland Park

ABC Television is currently looking for outgoing, opinionated, "tell it like it is" Dallas-area families to appear on the third season of the hit series "Wife Swap." And it's worth $20,000. More here.

The great Jon Mayer is 29 today. And he was born in Bridgeport . . . Connecticut.

I Know This Guy

Pretty amazing story of Fort Worth attorney Jerry Wood who crashed in Palo Pinto County after last being seen at the Wise County Jail on Friday afternoon. He spent two days in his car before being found today. I know him. He's a good guy.

Yeah, I Know, Slow Sunday

But entertain yourself with this clip from the Crips v. The Bloods that occurred last might during the University of Miami and Florida International game. Remember kids, sports builds character.
